La Brigade

Two co-founders, one standard

La Brigade des Chefs was born when Élodie Pirès, a private chef who notably cooked on board as Eli Cook on Board, met Wistan Lallement, a head chef. By bringing together their experience, their worlds and their complementary talents, they imagined a collective of chefs driven by a taste for gastronomy, sharing and innovative projects. Around them, a team comes together to bring each service to life.

Élodie Pirès

Co-founder, private chef & coordinator

A private chef and co-founder of La Brigade des Chefs, Élodie manages and coordinates the projects. Your main contact, she is with you from the first conversation to the day of the service and is the link with the team of chefs.

Wistan Lallement

Co-founder & head chef of the Brigade

Trained at La Côte Saint-Jacques, a two-Michelin-star restaurant, Wistan writes the menus, leads the teams and watches over every plate. His cooking combines the foundations of tradition with bold flavour pairings, with local produce in the spotlight. Unexpected combinations and refined plating invite guests to discover new sensations.

Depending on the project, the Brigade gathers the talent it needs: Giovanny in the kitchen, Maëva for the pairings, and those who bring the dining room to life.
